Andrew Sullivan quotes a Hillary worshiper on Softball.

Faye Wattleton: Well, I think that Bill Clinton’s role is that of the spouses of all the candidates, he’s participating as a surrogate for his wife who is running. And I think that its entirely consistent with the ascension of other women to the top offices in their country; they come about it as the result of the president being their spouse or being members of prominent families. So I don’t think that we should be so upset and agitated about Mr. Clinton’s participation  – we should continue to focus on the issues that the people want to hear about…these other matters are really side issues.

Oh no, of course not. If it wasn’t for Mr. Clinton’s “participation” then we wouldn’t have had Hillary as a public official in the first place, would we?

Isn’t it a bit ironic that the supposed supreme advancer of women, Ms. Clinton, has to be propped up by belittling all the female leaders that have come before her? Remember: there doesn’t need to be substance or greatness in her past, she’s Bill Clinton’s wife!

JustOneMinute details some of the other great men behind the rise of previous women leaders, like King Meir.
